He had a shocker
Out of position for first try
Out of position for forty twenty
Kick out on full
Gifted them try second half

But sure he will make up for it. Unfortunately we don’t have a squad good enough to drop him

I am pretty sure the OP is trolling with thread. Shake your head.

100% correct he had a mare but it happens, ther were some pretty awful performances and some guys really stood up to be counted.

3 things cost us the game mistakes, appalling last tackle sets and poor discipline. The former just happen but the latter is just a recurrent and perennial problem.

Ashurst stripped twice, max didn’t kill ball, kicked out on the full possibly should have done better on turners try, Lino generally non existent, Johnson never got a pass. Can’t fault the effort and thought we were a bit unlucky with some of the 50/50 s but once again another self. Inflicted defeat.

Tupo who was one of our most dangerous players looks like he’s had a season ending knee cap injury

Pretty much gutted

To be fair on Lino we went left and he was on the right. We attacked towards a bright sun in the sky. I had my hand up most of the first half trying to block it out. It must have been even worse for the players. 4 times we butchered the attack that way but didn’t learn our lesson and hit the right instead. Cas knew this and most of their attack was right. As much as Miller played ok I think he stifled our attack and cuts Lino out too much at times

Well, we must be watching a different player.
He made a critical error last night but, to bag him as you have done here, s bloody ridiculous.
You clearly haven't seen his defensive efforts or try assists this season.

This sums up our night perfectly, plus, a woeful kicking game.

Think to single max out over his mistakes Is IMO a bit unfair after watching that inept performance from the majority of the team .Millar went ok ,kelepi ran well,kershaw is improving ,Lino was awol,Westerman was well looked after ,big dave pushed a few people on the floor but also lost the ball whilst doing it on a few occasions, Tom might as well have stopped at home. To say we bulled it up as a derby game , pre season friendly best describes that performance .
3 coaches masterminded that performance last night and it all started from when we got our first set of 6 after a Cas mistake at the very start and made a right hash of our first attack,and that theme followed on throughout the game .we’ve seen what they can do when up for the fight ,unfortunately that’s not very often in these recent times

I think the improvements Max has shown over the last year think he deserves his place only a couple of games ago he was linking our attack crucially. He had a mare last night but that can happen.

Wouldn’t have been in that position if the men in front of him didn’t let Mata’utia dance along in front of them.

He went high on a bigger man and got flattened, I can see what he was trying to do, effectively using gravity to pull Turner down, it didn't work out and perhaps would've been better to go low, his effort did impact Turner enough for the supporting defenders to have a chance if holding the attacker up.

I'll say it again, whilst the defence was soft for all the tries conceded, its our attack that cost us the game. 12 points would never have been enough to beat Cas.

If Max has gone low wouldn’t Turner have just flopped over for a try wouldnt he? The only option was to go high and wrap the ball but Turner always had the advantage charging forwards. And Max couldn’t get enough on him though almost delayed him enough.

The damage was done when Matauitia ran through the middle of our forwards for a clean break.

Matautia was the difference last night.

How come it's pick on M J week .ok he had a bad match, but overall he as had a good season .Lino had a poor match last night so is he no good at scrum half . There was no reason for Kershaw to come of is wing for Cas second try just let's pick on some one .Face the facts, Cas are a good side ,well coach They did not get a overlap all night, some thing Wires could not stop in the cup .We did do some things well but as a TEAM we got some things wrong .To start blaming one player is out of order ,we lost by SIX NOT SIXTY

INOUT
Every chance that would be the result, but we'll never know. I'm certainly not criticising him for it, he made the decision he did in a split second, had he pulled it off it would've been a great try saving tackle. Again not the reason we lost.

I’d add mcshane and Richardson as being the difference also but led from the front by mata’utia, and obviously Cas wanting the game more than we did .
